Term 2

The SRC meeting this week was focused around ways we can show gratitude to those who help us (eg. ES, Teachers, family and friends.)  Classes held meetings prior and the SRC representatives shared many wonderful ideas on how we can show others our appreciation.  

With Mother’s Day this Sunday we hope that our students are able to show all the special people in their life that they are grateful for everything you do, every single day….

A reminder that Mother’s Day is coming up this weekend and we can show gratitude to our Mum’s and special people in our lives every day. Ideas are as follows:
